Indeed, very beautiful and high quality phone all around. I specially like the sound experience while using headphones, that ClearAudio+ engine is something. The screen is just pure, no yellow tint, no pink tint, just pure.
I really like it, and wash it every morning :p

I'm not really familair with sony phones so what does it run on? Is there an app store for sony phones?

Standard hardware with standard android - play store.

Oh thats cool, weird for some reason I thought a phone by sony would run some sony specific os.

I can't wait to hear how you describe the HTC One's screen then.

Seriously, the XZ screen is nothing special. Infact it is the worst screen in flagship phones by a significant margin. The rest of the phone is great though. I was so close to getting one but the screen was mediocre for me.The pricing is also another factor.

So did you get the HTC One? I wanted to know how its camera was cause most of the reviews have been negative for the camera. 

Actually I have been comparing both phones for a while trying to decide which one to get. And the screen on the XZ is FAR from OK at best. It is a BEAUTIFUL screen without a doubt. The HTC just has better viewing angles and has a more vibrent look. The camera on the HTC One takes sharper pictures but the camera on the XZ gives more vibrant colors and more life like as well and outdoors and in light it really outperfoms the camera on the HTC One. The HTC One performs better than ANY phone at night though by a FAR margin. The reason most people are not all that impressed witht he XZ is because thanks to the Gorilla glass coating it can tend to at times make the screen looked a LITTLE washed out when compared to other phones. Sony has cmae back and correct that with the XZL though...

Funny you say that because Sony did add Sony specifics to the phone. Like Sony "Walkman"

All I got is an Xperia T

Which is still a great phone as it is like a dual core, non-water proof Xperia Z.

...okay, now I'm sad again.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Lol where did you get it from?


NOT from X-cite if that's what you're asking xD

From Al - Barrak Group, The official partner of Sony Mobile in Kuwait, got it with tons of screen protections and a bumper.


I got it from Sony Store in Avenues, not from X-Cite either, are you using Viva or Zain? or what? , some people seem to believe that its not an LTE phone , even though it clearly says it is.

The screen of the HTC One is really nice, and I really like the added Blink feed feature on the home screen which is a bit like the live tiles on the Windows phone which is a feature that I really like on the Windows OS. But camera reviews I've seen for the HTC One have mostly been a bit negative espeecially compared to top end new smartphones like the S4 although the HTC One camera is better than the Xperia. Just read thIs comparison review between the HTC One and S4 (the review for the camera is between page 7-10):

Also, the Xperia Z looks likes a really nice phone so Sony's marketing did a great job, but most of the reviews for it have been a little average when compared to the S4 and HTC One.

To be honest, I never trust reviewers, they went on and on about how good the AMOLED screen on a samsung phone looked, and each time I see it I feel like the screen is glitching and is showing a blue haze on the side and oversaturated color hue, at first I thought this was a software glitch so I updated it, didn't solve it , so i restored OS to its factory settings and then back again , and it still persisted, this isn't my phone so I thought the owner messed the screen or something, so I went and looked at the screen on the G Note 2 since they also brag on how much it looks great, and it had the same "issue" the colors pink looked red and blue looked like it came out of of a lighsaber and the green looked like an atari neon green, everything looked like that new Far Cry Blood Dragon game, and I still have no idea why people think AMOLED is such a great screen. 

/end rant

so tl;dr I will not trust reviewers until I see it myself, I'll try an HTC One whenever I got back to a store that sell one.

from the video that site posted, the HTC One clearly has a better camera than the S4 , the colors on the S4 are very washed out , the frame rate is getting hiccups and there is no ambient sound filter, its like an old digital pocket camera.

I don't know how you're saying the HTC One is worse than S4 here.



I've been tempted to get it with a contract for quite some time now, but my xperia play is too awesome of a phone. I can't carry my vita with me, so I tend to use my xperia play (playing Crash Bandicoot) when I wait for a friend or something.

I have a Play too, but the damn thing has so little memory, if It didn't have half a gig of memory I wouldn't have bought any other phone to be honest, since its a great phone, and very durable.
